Used xhost tool to allow root user to access the currently running X server.
and that allows the installer to be displayed and start without any issues.

This commit appends: xhost si:localhost:root to ~/.profile for the liveuser

This is potentially fixing a GTK race condition bug.

This one also looks good to me, just like we discussed in the meeting today. +1!

I do have the same thought as I did in PR 22, see here. But I would rather merge and come back to modularizing the kickstart instead of drawing this out for a long time.

Thank you. :)

The current Kickstarts are modularized, the flat-i3.ks is a result of flattened fedora-live-i3.ks which contains all the configs.
